I still don't get the north star/shooting star stuff in your pack. And yes, I am dumb with astrology.

You don't see them or you don't understand what they are?

Since the north star is visible day or night, you can use it as a guide to get your bearings. The shooting star is just there to be awesome. (As far as I know.)

Both. Thanks for the help though.

If you can't see them then odds are, you use optifine. To see the clouds/shooting star/north star, you have to use MCPatcher and UNCHECK EVERTHING (if you plan on using optifine, if not, then leave it the way it is) except for better skies. That should fix it

I saw them now. I was just using mcpatcher BTW, I don't like optifine.

I'm not playing DayZ anymore these days. Waiting for standalone version, but I might not even buy that if it ends up too close to the same as the mod version.

Awwwww.....

I really enjoyed those 3 videos. What do you mean by "Standalone"?

Now that you won't be doing DayZ, other than minecraft what games/videos do you plan to make?

Quote from Plenty_of_Fish

Cool skies. Very detailed.

Yes indeed. The only problem is, they are too cool to go w/ the rest of the pack.

Here are ALL the previous versions of my pack. Feel free to load up the terrain.png's and select any old textures you preferred. I apologize for not having a customizer set up to make this easier for everyone. Filesize is 70Mb.

Is it possible to get the old creeper skin? (they higher resolution one?)

I know for a fact v13 has the higher res skins. I'm not sure when the change to lower res happened.

Quote from RMike

The Iron Armor is awesome, although I don't like the pants, they're too long
But the complete armor is amazing!

I agree w/ you.

For some reason, I don't like how tools look like. They kinda unfinished.
But everything except tools.. is just perfect!

Question: As far as I remember, you redone the ores. Can I get myself terrain.png with old ores?

Read three posts up. :3

Edit: Tobi, maybe you should put the link with all your old textures in the OP? Unless I'm completely blind and missed it while scanning over it. :X

Oh, I'm so unobservant Thanks

would it be possible to get permission to use some of your textures and 16 res them for my servers creative texture pack? (well multiple packs as we run the voxel textures plugin) people on my server has requested some textures from this pack for their projects.

Sure I guess. Silly to shrink them down though. They will look like crap.

Eh yeah I probably should. But it took me months to get around to adding new screenshots so... well see.

First of all, I would like to say this is the best texture pack I've downloaded. I love the sky so much and the torches.
But my only problem is when the day starts to shift to night time or vice versa, my 'laptop' starts to lag like hell.
But before you start giving me the "its because youre using a laptop" stuff, I would like to post some of my specs to justify that I have a "good enough" laptop to play minecraft.

Laptop model: ASUS ROG G74Sx
Processor: Intel Core i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20 GHz (8CPUs)
Memory: 12GB RAM
Video Card: nVidia GEFORCE GTX 560M, 3GB

I already manually installed optifine ultra. I tried tweaking the settingss ingame but the same thing happens.
I get so irritated when my laptop lags on minecraft but it never lags on games like Skyrim and BF3 on ultra settings.
If I could get answers to this weird lag, it would be much appreciated. I can't wait to see this texture pack run smoothly because it just looks so beautiful

Anyone else having lag issues with Better Skies with MCPatcher version 2.4.3? It's happening for me on my pack and John Smith's. At sunrise and sunset the game drops to 2fps.

I've done some testing:

• When I uncheck Better Skies in MCPatcher 2.4.3, the frame lag goes away.
• With the Better Skies from previous versions of MCPatcher, and there's no frame lag.
• I've tested a couple other texture packs than my own and John Smith's has this lag as well, so it's not just my pack's problem. I do have a few skybox layers fading in and out at sunset and sunrise, but I don't get lag on these fades with previous versions of MCPatcher.
• I've also tested previous versions of Minecraft, and that didn't seem to change anything. No matter what Minecraft version I'm on, if I'm using MCPatcher 2.4.3's Better Skies, the game becomes unplayable at sunrise and sunset.

Anyone have an idea about what may be causing this?

Aha! Someone else. So it's definitely a problem with MCPatcher Better Skies for 2.4.3. I've talked to Kahr about it, still waiting for a reply. For now, I suggest either unchecking Better Skies in MCPatcher 2.4.3, or using an older version of MCPatcher.

Thanks for letting me know. I've been confused about it for days.

Sorry this is happening, and I hope we can get it figured out ASAP. I lurv my skies too!

Finally a person who isn't completely oblivious to the changes in the gravel textures which was almost 6 months ago. Also the pack is genius for 32x32. It is so bright which I love and suits the default perfectly. (Also, I think the players who claim it to be too bright should ditch their dokucraft rip-offs and go back to some decent default lighting settings. Someone finally does it right and the first thing to do is complain about brightness? If you played the game without messing with basic settings then you wouldn't be in trouble anyways.)

My heart is filled with joy. I'll send you a picture to promote your pack with. But it will be later.

Thanks.

I agree, I think other packs are way too dark, though I'd say John Smith's and Derivation pull it off in a nice way. The thing is, if they ever make Minecraft brighter, like with a directional light or shader mod put in, I'll probably have to go around and darken all my textures so I don't blind everyone. XD
